No! The Practice is suitable for complete beginners. Although if you have dabbled in journaling, or even if you’ve been journaling for a long time, I’m sure that the membership will spark your creativity, inspire you to try new techniques and feel the benefits of a consistent practice.

Everything will be sent to your inbox at the start of the month, including details of the monthly theme, the Zoom link to our workshop and the downloadable journal prompts pack.

You’ll receive the workshop replay via a separate email too.

You can join The Practice at any time and will get instant access to all our previous monthly prompt packs, so there's plenty to explore straight away. Then, on the 1st of the following month, you'll receive your first new themed prompt pack and an invitation to our next live workshop.

The live workshops are usually held on the first Saturday of every month, from 9.00am-10.30am (UK time).

They are always recorded so you don’t need to worry if that time doesn’t work for you.

That's totally fine - I know the timings of the live sessions won't work for everybody every month. They are recorded and shared every month so you can replay them whenever you like.

The creative prompts in the pack I’ll send you are designed for you to be able to spend as little or as long as you like on them! Even if you only have five minutes that day, you'll still be able to journal if you wish.

Don't worry if you miss prompts though. There's absolutely no pressure to do them all. I know life gets busy - and this subscription is all about finding joy, not adding more to your to-do list. You will still feel the benefit even if you find time to journal just a couple of times a week (you'll have access to everything, so you can just pick and choose the prompts that appeal to you ☺️).

The live workshops are 90 minutes, once a month. Likewise if you can't attend live, that's ok! They're recorded so you can play them back whenever you're ready.

Just a journal and some pens or pencils! You'll also need access to the internet.

This is something that I hear a lot… but the truth is, we’re all creative! Sometimes we don’t feel that way because we don’t make time for it, or we’ve been told that we’re not creative in the past and it’s a belief that’s stuck with us. The Practice is designed so that you can journal and get stuck into playful creativity, even if you have no prior experience. You might even surprise yourself at just how creative you actually are when you're given the space for it (people often do) 🙂

If you choose a monthly subscription, it will automatically renew on the same date each month.

If you choose an annual subscription, you will pay for 12 months upfront (saving £24 on the total yearly cost). Your subscription will then auto-renew on the same date the following year, unless you decide you'd like to cancel.

For monthly billing you can cancel your subscription anytime via your payment settings when you log in to your account.

For annual billing, cancelling your subscription means it will not be auto-renewed. You'll still receive all of the content via email each month until the end of your 12 month period.

If you have paid for an annual membership but decide it's not for you within the first 28 days, I am happy to offer a refund for the remainder of the year (the full amount minus one month's fee of £15 + an admin fee of £5 to cover my payment provider’s charges). Please email me on hannah@journalforjoy.co.uk to arrange this.

You'll always get access to the next workshop after your month's subscription begins, even if the workshop happens after that date.

For example, if your month's subscription starts on the 5th of January but the next workshop is being held on the 5th February, you will still be welcome to join that session, even though your subscription will have technically ended then.
